Certified Organic Mushroom Matcha Latte With Lion's Mane (100 g)

Matcha contains caffeine naturally because it’s made from finely ground green tea leaves.

Typical caffeine levels vary by grade, origin, and serving size, but a common range is:

• ~30–70 mg caffeine per 1–2 g serve (roughly ½–1 tsp) of pure matcha

For blended latte powders, caffeine is often lower per serve because the blend includes additional ingredients besides matcha.

It depends on the type of alertness you prefer:

• Coffee often provides a quicker, stronger caffeine “hit,” but may feel jittery for some people.
• Matcha tends to feel smoother and more sustained for many people because it contains L-theanine alongside caffeine (often associated with calmer focus).

If you’re sensitive to caffeine spikes, matcha can be a gentler alternative.

Usually no.

A traditional matcha latte is made with:

• Matcha
• Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• Optional sweetener

Some café specialty drinks may mix matcha with espresso, so it’s worth checking when ordering.

Two brands often used for latte-style drinks are Dr Superfoods and Teelixir, but they suit different needs:

• Dr Superfoods (pure matcha): Typically higher caffeine per gram because it’s 100% tea leaf. If you’re looking for organic matcha powder in Australia, this is a popular style of product for making lattes at home.
• Teelixir Certified Organic Mushroom Matcha Latte (blend): A functional latte blend with ceremonial grade matcha plus added ingredients (e.g., lion’s mane, peppermint).
  • 15 mg caffeine per serving
  • 20 servings per pack

Tip: when comparing products, check caffeine per serve (and serving size), because it varies widely between pure matcha and blends.

For pure matcha:

• Start with ½ tsp; increase to 1 tsp for a stronger flavour and more caffeine.
• Sift first to reduce clumps.
• Use hot (not boiling) water: 70–80°C.
• Whisk with a small amount of water first, then add milk.
• Froth milk or blend for extra creaminess.

For Teelixir Mushroom Matcha Latte:

• Follow the serving guide for consistent caffeine (15 mg/serve).
• Blend for a smoother texture (optional: add a small amount of coconut oil for a richer mouthfeel).
• Works hot or iced; add sweetener if you like.

A matcha latte commonly has:

• Grassy / green / vegetal notes
• Gentle bitterness (more noticeable with lower-grade matcha or hotter water)
• Creaminess and mild sweetness (depends on milk)
• Sometimes an umami-like depth (often in higher-quality matcha)

Overall “green tea strength” depends on how much matcha you use and whether you’re using pure matcha or a blend.

The best matcha latte powder depends on what you want:

• Pure matcha for a more traditional latte and more control over strength
• Functional blends for convenience and added ingredients (e.g., mushrooms)

Look for clear ingredient quality, testing standards, and caffeine per serving (if you want predictable energy).

No, not usually.

• Matcha powder = 100% ground green tea leaves
• Matcha latte powder = a blend (often matcha + other ingredients such as sweeteners, flavours, milk powders, or functional add-ins)

This is why latte powders can taste smoother and may have lower caffeine per serve than pure matcha.

Yes—matcha latte powder can work well in:

• Muffins, cakes, cookies
• Pancakes and waffles
• Smoothies, desserts, and no-bake snacks

Note: blends may include extra flavours (e.g., peppermint) that will carry through into baking.

You can buy organic matcha powder in Australia from health food stores, specialty tea retailers, and online organic retailers.

If you’re after ceremonial matcha powder, look for a product that’s clearly labelled, sealed for freshness, and ideally includes origin and quality information.
